Book Synopsis



DRAWING ANIMALS FROM LIFE: Science meets art in this drawing book that gives you the skills, techniques, and knowledge you need to draw 45 different animal species.

Capture with stunning life, movement, and accuracy a vast array of mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and insects!

When it comes to drawing wildlife, illustrators and artists often revert to working solely from photographs, which can leave the artwork looking lifeless and flat. In this inspirational animal drawing book, artist Tim Pond shows you how to observe and draw animals in zoos, farms, wildlife parks, and aquariums--and teaches you fascinating animal facts along the way.

Embark on a journey of discovery that will help you develop the skills, techniques, and knowledge needed to sketch a broad range of wildlife--from mammals and reptiles to birds, fish, and insects. Inside, you'll find quick, gestural sketches and more in-depth studies in a variety of media (pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor); guidance on representing different coat patterns and markings (like the plumage of exotic birds or hippos' hooves); and information on tools, materials, and basic drawing techniques.

Combining scientific knowledge with expert practical guidance is the key to successfully drawing animals from life. Tim's ability to convey this accessibly and engagingly makes this a treasure trove for artists of all skill levels!



About the Author



Tim Pond's artwork spans two decades of working in a wide range of different media and clients. He is particularly recognised for his dip pen and ink work which has appeared in the Guardian Newspaper and a wide range of other publications. Sketching from nature has taken Tim from being an expedition artist in Alaska, to sketching leaves in a tropical forest in Mexico.

Tim Pond is an associate artist at ZSL (Zoological Society of London) and teaches a regular drawing class at London Zoo, 'ZSL Saturday Sketch'. Last year the class was a complete sell out, with rave reviews including an article in the Artists and Illustrators magazine and listed as one of the best things to do in London in Time Out.
